I wholly believe it's impossible to get out of our "local minimum" without re developing from zero at some point.

So many of our technologies are just there because they solve some problem we created ourselves.

I don't think it's possible at all. Entertain the thought. If not for anything for social reasons. A hard fork of the entire ecosystem is the only way. Every single piece of software we write today depends on every other. It's not a tree like commonly thought, it's a cyclic graph.
